uninstalling ruby

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to uninstall ruby.
The network administrator who is installing ruby on our server put 5
different copies/versions on the server and now have trouble updating
the gems.
I read that there is no uninstaller for ruby. Is that true?
We just want to remove everything and restart again. Any help is
greately appreciated.
Many Thanks,
-Andy

Depends upon the procedure followed when it was installed.
If you didn't change --prefix, then my guess is that uninstalling is
going to be tedious. Maybe folks here can offer some tips on what to
look for and delete from your /usr/local.

It's true that there's no "make uninstall" target.

Assuming you're on GNU/Linux:
1. With great care, remove what got installed in /usr/local by the
previous installs.
2. Next time, install in, say, /opt by following the instructions at
http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/Inst...
under "Custom
Install on GNU/Linux". That way, uninstalling is as easy as "rm -fr
/opt/ruby-1.x.y".
